Dog Shoots Man to Death
A 32-year-old Kansas hunter was found dead in his car on Saturday, with sheriffs concluding that he was killed when his dog stepped on the trigger of his rifle.
The unidentified Wichita resident was discovered close to Geuda Springs, a hamlet with a population of 194 people that is 50 miles south of Wichita and just north of the Oklahoma border.
He passed away, according to sheriffs, about 9:40 a.m.
‘A canine belonging to the owner of the pickup stepped on the rifle causing the weapon to discharge,’ the sheriff’s office said.
‘The fired round struck the passenger who died of his injuries on scene.’
Although sheriffs hid the man’s name, several people on social media made fun of his wounds.
His friend stood up for him. Dailymail.uk reported.
‘To all the comedians and weapons experts here: This boy was my friend, having been best friends for over 20+ years with his dad,’ he wrote.
‘These comments are hateful.
‘I know this family very well and cannot tell you how much their hearts hurt right now. Shame on you.’
This is not the first time a dog is killing a man. A 32-year-old man was reportedly shot and murdered by his own dog in Turkey in November when the dog stood on a shotgun’s trigger and fired at the victim.
According to Newsweek, Ozgur Gevrekoglu was killed while out hunting with his friend in the Kizlan Plateau in the Samsun Province of Turkey, as reported by the newspaper Turkiye.
